Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Olga Fonda

Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Olga Fonda

Russia has delivered many good tidings to the world of men, but a reason to see that Hugh Jackman movie about robot-boxing (without the kids, anyway) was not exactly what we had in mind. Alas: Here arrives 29-year-old Olga Fonda in Real Steel and, come November, in Breaking Dawn — that vampire-boy movie we will not be seeing with or without children. And let us tell you something: She is really fricking cute. A model, yes, but the kind who gets cast in Crazy, Stupid, Love as much for her beauty as a radiance not often produced on these shores — the kind whose scene gets cut but still ends up in the trailer because, well, she's that fricking cute. All of which our photographer friend, the one behind MeInMyPlace.com, confirmed when he stopped by her place in L.A. for an iced coffee or two the other day. Despite the accent, she's not exactly difficult to get to know. —The Editors
